1. Count Rumford - VIP Spy
   Why did FDR say Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Count Rumford were the three most important Americans? (1) Why did the Holy Roman Empire and the Hapsburgs make Benjamin Thompson a nobleman? James Bond had nothing on this man of mystery.FDR lauds their intellect and does not say why they were truly all that important. He is part of the same ‘octopus’ but at a lower level or ‘front’ for political purposes. Jefferson was a politician as was Franklin too, but that is not why they are so imp…



2. Your Time of Blazing Noon
   War. Economic concerns. Poor business. Unemployment. It sure looks bad, doesn't it? But I also want to remind you that we have lived, survived and prospered though far worse times. For example: In 1780 George Washington said, 'We are without money; and have been so for a great length of time...' He went on to create an estate worth three-quarters of a million dollars when he died. In 1840 a traveler wrote, 'So great is the panic, and so dreadful the distress, that there are a great many farms pr…



3. Definitional Arguments of Attorneys in Committee Meetings By Lance Winslow
   Volunteering for a Committee can often be a challenge and often one or more people in the group can cause the endeavor to become far from enjoyable no matter how important or passionate you feel about the mission statement. Let us discuss one type of committee member which is often extremely hard to deal with; the Lawyer? Why do lawyers seem to want to join committees? Well, usually it is their way of networking and getting customers, also often people in these groups treat them differently in…



4. DOJ Internal Affairs By Lance Winslow
   The Department of Justice in the United States of America suffers from an intense problem and cancer, which is destroying it from the inside out. That problem is a lack of control of ethics of some of its junior and rarely talked about "Little agencies" within the DOJ. Let’s take the Federal Trade Commission, a little puny, tiny agency, which is part of the Department of Justice. Although this ridiculous waste of taxpayer’s money is very small, it affects so much by its archaic policies and ul…



5. Biz Op Marketing and the Federal Trade Commission By Lance Winslow
   Many had made mention of the problems of business opportunities in letters to the Federal Trade Commission in the public hearings in 1995, 1997 and 1999. They cited issues with advertising and earnings claims from Biz Op sales people. The FTC launched a sting operations called; “Operation Bizzillions,” which stopped a few hundred such operators out of the 80,000 such business opportunities.This action by the FTC did collect some fines for the Federal Trade Commission in their quest to show pro…



6. Hitler's Positive Christianity... Unleashing the Patriotic Church By Doug Krieger
   There is nothing—absolutely nothing—insofar as political power when it is under girded by morality, especially when that morality embraces the strength of the Christian religion. This is what Adolph Hitler seized upon, amplified, and nourished: One Reich, one Reich's Church. With religion's unwavering legitimacy enshrouding Nazism's agenda—nothing could stop him. Today, an eerie semblance overshadows the West (this "revision"—August, 2005—is an update of this semblance)—it harkens back to …



7. Let's Call A Spade A Spade By Virginia Bola, PsyD
   Much of our personal and cultural perspective on the world is colored by the language in which our concepts and ideas are couched. Changing that language can therefore alter our attitudes about what we hear and see."Responsibility," for example, is a word with positive reverberations. It reeks of reliability, accountability, and self-control. It carries connotations of honesty, dependability, and courage.So why have the media adopted the buzz phrase "claims responsibility" for the violent outr…



8. I Want To Be A Democrat
   I Want To Be A Democrat.I want ecology to be a important part of American politics. I want my American rivers, lakes and streams to be clean and natural. I want to see new and clean ways to produce energy and keep my American sky's free of pollution. I want to be a Democrat.I want my fellow Americans to have 'GOOD' jobs. I want American Unions to be strong and free of political corruption. I want every American to have the opportunity to receive training for quality employment. Everyone has an A…



9. Federal Trade Commission Partnerships Questioned By Lance Winslow
   In many reports we see that the Federal Trade Commission has referenced the Better Business Bureau. It appears that the Federal Trade Commission is using this private business as an example and potential justification of their on-going rule making and regulation in many industry sectors and categories. Some feel that any association with the Better Business Bureau is bothersome in that if they are in constant alliance with the Federal Trade Commission then the Federal Trade Commission, is no…



10. Presidential Tax Simplification Act By Lance Winslow
    The President’s Administration is out to simplify the American People’s taxes. It is about time someone had the balls to do this. What a mess our current tax system is. As we enter a slowing of the economy and head into a downward business cycle taxpayer’s will be glad to have simplification. Indeed by taking off the books many of the old tax incentives which clearly drive money to specific industries, this will give the government more levers to make this downward business cycle shallow and a…



11. Making Peace with Our Ancestors and Neighbors By Edith Bawn
    As a result of the conflict analysis exercise and a workshop conducted earlier this year by the Liberia Community Infrastructure Program, (LCIP), participants indicated a strong resentment of ex-combatants by the war affected community leading to traditional cleansing ceremonies. Sentiments from both tribes indicated a mutual approval/acceptance of the Zalakai/Zalayei traditional healing process; only being assisted by LCIP. Villagers spoke of not only their support of peace, but more so, the…



12. The Port Fiasco - It's a GOP Trick
    The quarterback drops back to pass and he fakes handing off to the fullback. While the onrushing tacklers go for the fullback the quarterback sneaks to the outside and hits the left uncovered tight end with the game winning Hail Mary pass to win the championship football game. In a move worthy of David Copperfield the Grand Old Party has come up with the sleight of hand move of the century. The Republican Party is in power because Karl Rove is calling the plays better than any Democrat. His quar…



13. Confrontation: Iran's choice
    Contrary to what Iranian state media presents showing a 'positive atmosphere' in nuclear talks between Tehran and the west, leaked details by international media speak of 'final confrontation' between two sides, with one assertion that this confrontation is by Iran's choice. An analyst from London Strategic Research Institute believes that setting a discussion date for January 18th, presents a delay in this confrontation, which keeps Europeans happy. But the set date is not that far. An EU dip…



14. Writing basics for local campaign websites
    As the fastest-growing resource in politics, the Internet provides a cost-effective method to reach supporters and potential supporters. However, writing for your local campaign website is different than writing for print. Simply copying your local campaign print material onto your website limits the potential of online campaigning. Online campaign writing tips Nobody likes scrolling through pages and pages of poorly written, overblown website content. Studies show that people read from computer…



15. Bureaucrats and Regulators to Declare Bankruptcy and Insolvency By Lance Winslow
    It is so fascinating how our regulators sit behind desk and dream up rule after rule to be placed on business, yet are so unethical and irresponsible in their own lives. Did you know that the average regulator is twice as likely to be over extended in their short-term debt to income ratios as the average American?In fact they are 4 times more likely to cheat and lie on the taxes? Did you know they are five times more likely to cheat on their wives with another woman or Man? Additionally they a…



16. Kudos For Monsanto Company By Lance Winslow
    I applaud Monsanto for their R and D. I would like to meet the head R and D man there and shake his hand for his drive and stick-to-it-ness to find solutions to feed the world. I have seen the animosity towards terminator and GM seeds, but I have also seen children dying of malnutrition and felt sick to my stomach as I knew they would not last more than a year like that. Malaria, or something would get them first. It was a sad day boarding that plane and thinking in 12 hours I would be back in…



17. Is the Republican Party Racist? By Steve Doss
    It’s a perception that’s long been held in American politics. The Republican Party is anti-black and racist and the Democratic Party is pro-black and anti-racist. The Republicans cry foul and point to their history of fighting for civil rights, the Democrats scoff at such lunacy. Without getting into a long and arduous debate over which side is correct in it’s assumptions regarding the other, I feel that both parties have a lot of work to do and that neither are blameless in regards to the tre…



18. The President's empty promises
    It's really ironic that South African President Thabo Mbeki positioned his latest State of the Nation address as the beginning of an era of hope. Pragmatically, rather than cynically, hope is about all the majority of the poor in South Africa have to cling to. One of my black staff built a tiny home in rural Pomeroy - an out of the way little area close to the battle site of Rorke's Drift in Kwazulu Natal. I drove him and his family down there for their Christmas holidays. Twelve years into the …



19. The World's Eldest Democracy Was A Truly Romantic Affair By Angelique Van Engelen
    Visible remnants of the world’s eldest democracy can be seen in a town in the Carantania region in what is now Austria, where during the early Middle Ages, the tribal society of a Slav people managed to live for over 100 years without being invaded and out of sheer happiness invented a democratic system. They did not call it a democracy but the word invented later was taken directly from their example.The Carantanians, situated in the the Eastern Alps (present-day Austria), arose after the dec…



20. The Napoleon Dynamite Scandal Up In Idaho By John T Jones, Ph.D.
    Things are putting a damper on the Festival of Light Parade in the mainly Mormon town of Preston, Idaho. November 25 was to be a joyous day when the extras who “stared” in Napoleon Dynamite where to be the headline attractions at the annual parade. The city fathers and merchants expected all 500 residents (includes horses) to come out to the parade. But now there is a damper on the event.How sad that the former Chief of Police has been declared “a crooked cop” by the local court. He was senten…



21. The Distributive Justice of the Market By Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
    (1) Each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive total system of equal basic liberties compatible with a similar system of liberty for all.(2) Social and economic inequalities are to be arranged so that they are both: (a) to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged, consistent with the just savings principle, and (b) attached to offices and positions open to all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity. "John Rawls, "A Theory of Justice", 1971, p.302 Resources are sc…



22. A Look Ahead to 2008 (Part I)
    Just as everyone has breathed a sigh of relief at the end of 2004 presidential campaign, I would like to take a quick look ahead to 2008. Unless George W. Bush is unable to complete his second term, 2008 will bring the third open presidential election (no incumbent running) in 20 years. Even though that's still four years into the future, the campaign will be unofficially getting underway almost immediately. Therefore, many of the potential candidates can already be identified and there should b…



23. TABOR: The Growing Taxpayer Bill of Rights Movement and Economic Incentives for Industry By Dr. Michael A. S. Guth
    A governing.com report blast one of the major grassroots initiatives spreading across the country: the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) movement. “When citizens put their hands directly on the tax levers, it often gets much harder for states to pay the bills. California, whose Proposition 13 became the poster boy for hobbling ballot box measures, is just one name on a list of states that are choking on tax policies put in place by voters. Washington, Oregon and Colorado are just a few of the …



24. Oil Pipelines and Rates of Flow By Lance Winslow
    How much oil can travel through a pipeline? It depends on the upon the pounds per square inch, dimensions of the pipeline, gravity, and dynamic pressure of the fluid behind the fluid you are measuring. In the Netherlands, they are using water pipelines to move data to a central point in then onto the Internet. The water pipelines now have more intrinsic value. They have the value that they have always had, providing the water remains of the same price plus the bandwidth possible by using this …



25. Kyrgyzstan's Revolution : a New Definition of "Partytime"?
    Kyrgyzstan's swift and sudden revolution happened almost before one could have managed to pronounce this obscure country's name. The chaos in the country where activists chased away their ruling leaders show a country coming to terms with a colonial past and on a quest to find a new identity. Despite the looting and the - tempered- violence, the initial reading of this revolution is that the catharsis might preclude a positive outcome. Not so much only for this tiny country, but more important…
